Author: Powered By Rock October 23, 2023 Duration: 1:22:00

Hello and welcome to the Powered By Rock podcast where I am going to be speaking with Cody Leavitt from Asteroid M Records out of Las Vegas  today. 

Asteroid M is a multi-purpose label that not only helps distribute awesome music in various formats both digitally and physically, but Cody also helps record, mix and master tracks and albums in his home studio AND even hosts Live band performances that are aired on the Asteroid M YouTube channel.

Not only that, but he helps promote and organize shows for bands in Vegas as well as plays in a band called Not For Sale. So, he is a busy guy with a lot of talent and a massively helpful individual in the Las Vegas music scene.
